This 63-inch-wide, 100% cotton fabric is a great pick for beginners, scrappy makers, and anyone who likes to experiment without cutting into their best fabric. It arrives as a single 5 yard cut, 180 inches long, ready to cut from wherever you like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout this green\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDewfall is not a bright green. It is the green of pine needles in shade, deep and slightly grey, the kind that reads almost black across a room and then opens up into color when you stand close. Scattered over it are small blossoms in blush and cream, with fine ochre buds threaded between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGreen is the color people name when you ask them about hope, or growth, or the outdoors. It is also the color that gave dyers the most trouble for the longest. For most of textile history there was no single reliable green dye at all. A piece of green cloth had to be dyed blue first and then overdyed yellow, twice through the vat, twice the cost, and the yellow was always the weaker of the two. That is why the leaves in so many nineteenth century quilts have drifted toward blue or tan while the reds beside them stayed put. When you find a true green in an antique quilt, someone paid for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blossoms carry their own history. Soft pinks like these came from madder root, the most dependable dye in a nineteenth century dyer's shed, and the double pinks it produced turn up in more American quilts than almost any other print. Pink beside deep green is not a modern pairing. It is one of the oldest in the trade, and it still works for the same reason it always did: the green does the quieting, and the pink does the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere this print works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall scattered florals like this one are the workhorses of a quilt. From a few feet away the print stops being flowers and becomes texture, which is exactly what you want in the parts of a block that are meant to hold still. Use it as the dark in a \u003cstrong\u003erail fence\u003c\/strong\u003e, the background in a \u003cstrong\u003enine patch\u003c\/strong\u003e, the chain in an \u003cstrong\u003eIrish chain\u003c\/strong\u003e, or the logs in a \u003cstrong\u003elog cabin\u003c\/strong\u003e. There is no direction to match and no repeat to line up, so you can cut into it from any edge without planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 63 inches wide it also does the job most quilting cotton cannot. Standard cotton comes off a 44 inch bolt, so a quilt back wider than about 42 inches needs a seam down the middle. This one does not, up to 55 inches of finished quilt width. Beyond quilting it makes up well as a tablecloth, a runner, napkins, pillowcases, a duvet cover, curtains, a tote or an apron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to put beside it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCream and warm white\u003c\/strong\u003e for the classic cottage look, and the safest place to start\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlush and dusty rose\u003c\/strong\u003e to pull the blossoms forward\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOchre, mustard and camel\u003c\/strong\u003e to pick up the small buds in the print\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRust and terracotta\u003c\/strong\u003e for autumn, warm against the cool green\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep navy\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want it darker and quieter still\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlmost any scrappy mix\u003c\/strong\u003e, because a green this muted behaves like a neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e63 inches is wide, but it is not the 108 inch wide backing sold for king quilts.
